A Die Cast Christmas!

[KG_Cloghaun]

So all this stuff is 54mm scale? I'm having trouble understanding how big that would be. Can you take a picture holding your PzIII?

How much bigger are they than say the 72nd scale Dragon tanks?

[KG_Jag]

No--the King and Country items as bigger. They are 60 mm.

The Figarti and W. Britain lines are a smaller 54 mm, which is the 1 to 32 scale.

I will try to talk my wife into letting me use her digital camera, but until then I can tell you that a vehicle in the STUG family in the 60 mm scale will be about 7 1/2 inches long. A Pz IV in the 54 mm scale will be about 7 1/4 inches long. In each case the gun overhang is not included in the measurement.
